This is abysmal....Just tried to fly the Harrier with my Squadron Mate. He had a problem hovering with a low fuel load and trying to go to full power. He thought it might have been his system, but know....I had the same issues..the Harrier is broken too. ED and 3rd Party need to stop this and get it fixed. They can bicker off line somewhere else and leave us (the ones who supported them) to our own devices of flying in the game...

Here's what I posted in the "Many Bugs for 2.9.555" Forum before I found you guys discussing the issue here As an aside, I've the AV-8 Harrier, M-2000, Mig-19 and the F-15E from RB....My friend said that hw was seeing a problem with hovering in the Harrier at 2K of fuel....(he thinks this is related to the 3rd party and ED debacle...). And then there is the Youtube video about the F-15E....anyhow plese see the text that I wrote in the other forum... I hate to address the "Elephant in the Room", but has this issue of silence between the 3rd party developer and ED been resolved? After being away for an extended period of time, I noticed a youtube video about other RB modules going dark (or being Dead)....One of which was the highly anticipated F-15E I've spent a large amount of money @ $1000 since 2013 buying modules for myself and for friends in my Flight Sim community. Now I am seeing videos and post about bickering between the 3rd party developer and ED. One of my squadron mates called me this morning and said that there is something from ED about refunding the Dead modules that were produced by the 3rd party....True? Actually, I could care less about a refund. I just want to fly what I purchased (which was in good faith). I could care less about the politics (which I hate), just get our stuff fixed, refund us, or release it to the community and let them fix it ala the gang that put the T-45 or A-4 together....Those were bang up jobs! Sorry if this post angers people out there, and if it does, please direct me to Matt Wagner or someone at ED. We paid for a product....it's time for the powers that be to deliver...'Nuff Said Thanks for allowing me to vent my frustrations.... Skelator

Is this Mod available to the general public? If so, could you provide a link to it?

Fantastic! You and Brains are doing a great job. I watched your video a while back. I'm a fixed Wing guy by trade but this is a little bird that I am looking forward too! Keep up the great work! Can't wait to fly this one!!!

Good morning, There are two publication that I purchased a long time ago that have a good synopsis for initial development for an F-105 module. The first is called F-105 Thunderchief in Detail and Scale. It was published by Kalmbach Publishing Company (Last publication date was 1993) I think the bok had numerous performance charts in it. At lease enough information was there to do a pretty good job of extrapolation for the performance of the 'Thud. The second book is from the Wartech Series (Vol 18) titled Republic F-105 Thunderchief. This book has some great descriptors of the inside of the aircraft's cockpit. From early to late 2-seat versions of the jet. There is also some Radar mode information provided and the paint scheme for the 1 season only Thunderbird 'Chief (the 105 was pulled from the T-Bird roster after a horrific initial season with the T-Birds (the team switched back to the F-100 before moving on to the F-4). Hope this helps. As a very Young Chewchief, I had the privilege of watching a F-105 take off from Selfridge ANG base in Michigan as it stopped by for a transient visit. My boss (who was a SMSgt) crewed the aircraft as it came through. He had worked 105 during the Vietnam war. He allowed me to tag along. I remember the sound and that long T/O roll to this day. Right now, so many years later, I have to settle for the VSN mod (which duplicates the long T/O roll). I'll take it until a 3rd party module comes along (and a welcome addition it will be)!

Had an acquaintance that flew the F-15E (Mudhen as we used to call it). His callsign was "Duck"....His last name was Howard! I vote for "Duck"!

Dedicated Servers not showing up in list.
Skelator117 replied to MonkeyMagic's topic in Multiplayer Server Administration
I too am having the problem of servers that used to be on my multiplayer list have disappeared. Everything ws working three weeks ago before I took a break (due to a family emergency). When I tried to log back on, there are a number of multiplayer servers that just disappeared. I can hear my guys talking about the mission/server name and the like. They want me to join but I've told them the server name that they are on is gone. Any help would be appreciated. -
Thank you for the fantastic Mod! You and the team deserves a "Bravo Zulu"!

Thanks Tracer, I'll give it a go. Skelator -
A "Bravo Zulu" to all our NAVAIR MX crews for getting this baby ready to go! We'll tell the first class of Nuggets to get ready for CQ! Waiting for you to give us the 'Thumbs Up' and we'll get out to the deck for our FOD walkdown! Looks great!

Thank you all for such a fantastic Mod! I had a blast last night flying her in VR. This bird brings a much needed component to the CSAR/Downed Airman scenario. Again...Thank you! Skelator

WIP A-6 Intruder skin for CorsairCat's A-6 Intruder Mod
Skelator117 replied to Backy 51's topic in AI Aircraft
Good morning all, I see that you are able to view the A-6 from an external view. Is there a way that I can launch the intruder (whilst I am in the 'pit) from the ground without crashing to desktop? I think 'Cap' from Growling Sidewinders was only able to launch while airborne. I know that the Intruder is still a very early WIP but she's a cool mod! Skelator -
F-35 A/B/C Community Mod

Just a suggestion for the tanking issue. Not sure it will work. I'll give it a go though! -
Little known fact. The actor who played T.C. Roger Mosley was actually a rated real World Helo Pilot!
